Holding Onto Love - Be The Change from my 4th Album The Liminal

Recorded during Lockdown with Emmy Broughton on Harp and Sam May on Cello.

This song for me is a prayer.

If we can come from a place of loving kindness and awareness in the way we are living our lives then we can be the change we need in this world.

It maybe we simply are able to teach our children how to sow seeds, grow veggies, explain recycling, move away from single use plastic, maybe we take less flights, meditate more, walk in nature..

It's simply an invitation to tune to the conversation around safeguarding this incredible world we call home. A land that sustains us with its offerings. How can we support it and those that we share this planet with? The species that are losing the fight for survival.

I also feel it's important to safeguard our spiritual connection to the land and our consciousness. Personally the more time I spend on electronic devices the harder I have to work to attune to nature and to create the space within. So for me this is a reminder to do the work and cultivate that connection on a daily basis.

So I love collaborating with Oliver and his relationship with nature and nature spirits nourishes and inspires me deeply as I hope it will you. xx Tallulah

Oliver Barnett:

"A Swallowtail butterfly came to a peaceful rest in the garden.

Combined with tiny details of the vegetal kingdom found on my nature walks, I made a little eulogy for its onward journey (propelled by Tallulah's exquisite song.)

In my experience, the distance between life and death, decay and regeneration has never felt narrow. Some days feel like we're in the chrysalis preparing for rebirth, consciousness expanding into higher dimensions, other days are closer to despair and horrifying loss.

While the facts of extinction and ecocide are often overwhelming, as long as life force continues to run through our bodies and the body of the land that supports us, it is a sign of numbness rather than relatedness to prematurely declare the end of days.."
